Can I put the acronym EIT or EI after my name on things like my Business card and Emails?

Yes, this is the typical way that you announce to people that you are an Engineer in Training or Engineering Intern. As each state regulates the use of certain “engineer” terms until one is registered, you are not allowed to refer to yourself using variations of “engineer” (e.g., registered engineer, licensed engineer, Mechanical Engineer, Professional Engineer…). This means you can not put your “position title” on your business card or email signature as Electrical Engineer, Mechanical Engineer, etc. However you can use a title such as Electrical Engineer Intern or Mechanical Engineering Department, etc.

It will only be a matter of time though that you can call yourself an Engineer, stay on track, and focused. Feel free to use any of the resources on this site your shoot me an email if you have any additional questions.
